Weekend RecapI was home this past weekend. While in the city I find it much more difficult to keep up on them. I don't know why that is. But I thought I'd hint as to the occurrences of the past four days.Friday I had every intention of going to this game, but when I got in and it was pouring with a non-hardcore-Pirate fan as my airport pickup. I stopped by a friends and we left when it was 4-2 by the time we got where we were going it was 12-5, the final score. Bullpen pitched well, Jason Bay hit his eight homerun in as many games, and Jeromy freaking Burnitz gets 3 hits. Saturday I really wanted to go to this game, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to go see Foxy Football on the Southside. I thought it was actually pretty cool. Especially my new favorite Pittsburgh receiver, Lori "LJ" Johnson, who had a spectacular game, and defensive end Tia Montgomery who had a ridiculous block on a fourth quarter punt return. However they lost on the last play of the game on a lame touchdown scramble by the Cleveland quarterback. Now, had I known I could have driven across the bridge and watched a whole nother game, I would have. I made it back to catch until the 17th. Thought the defense was spectacular and that Ryan Vogelsong was the hero. Then had to meet up with friends only to get a call from my niece explaining some ludicrous course of events leading to an eighteenth inning run. It didn't at all match what actually happened except for the Jason Bay collision at home, who happened to hit another homerun. Sunday Again, was having a party during the game and missed most of it. Saw the last inning where we lost and about it. That night I listened to people complain about leaving Gonzo in. I don't mind. I don't mind because he's young and he needs to learn how to deal with defeat and how to tell if he has it or not. I don't mind if we lose because a young guy messed up a bit. I'd still watch that everyday. Meanwhile Jason Bay hit a homerun in his sixth straight game. Monday While stuck on the airport runway during my five hour delay on the way back I called people for updates on the game. Turns out we crushed the Brewers 14-3. When I got home I would watch what little segments of the game I felt were worth my attention. Turns out everyone was on base twice, except Jason Bay again. Damn, he sucks. posted by Rory at 6:17 PM | |
